Hi, as part of my research to emmigrating to Sydney, I'd really appreciate it if someone could give me an overview of the schooling system in Australia - ie. is it Primary and Secondary like in the UK and do the children move up at the same ages? What exams are taken at what ages (keep seeing HSC results but not sure what the UK equiv would be - GCSE?). Can anyone point me in the right direction for the equivalent ofsted website? What should I be looking at for a 'good school'? I have heard that there isn't a postcode lottery like in the UK?
Think we'd be moving somewhere like Hornsby, Belrose or Manly, but really have no idea yet! TIA
